Indian weightlifting sensation Jeremy Lalrinnunga clinched a gold medal in the men's 67kg finals at the ongoing Commonwealth Games (CWG 2022) in Birmingham, United Kingdom on July 31.
He accumulated a combined weight of 300kg (Snatch 140kg+ Clean and Jerk 160kg) to win India's second gold and fifth overall medal.
Not only did he win a gold medal, in the process the Aizwal-based weightlifter registered a new Commonwealth Games record. He achieved the feat during his second successful snatch attempt of 140kg on his CWG debut.
Speaking about his gold medal-winning performance, Jeremy told ANI:
"I am happy after winning the gold medal but not satisfied with my performance. I was expecting to perform better but winning gold for the country is a proud moment,"
Speaking about the injury he sustained during his first Clean and Jerk attempt in the finals, the men's 67kg weightlifting CWG Champion said:
"The warm-up was very good but after a point, my front thigh and inner thigh muscles started to cramp, due to which I could not walk for a while and could not cross the 140kg mark during the warm-up."
